Says they are good up to a mile away on distance, is that true?

These work on the Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies and are limited to .5 watts output power. One mile range is probably GREATLY exaggerated. I'd guess you might be able to get 1/3 - 1/2 mile, line-of-sight, under the BEST circumstances.

No. It seems like to reach around 1 mile of regular condition such as driving. I'm satisfied about the radios because of long lasting batteries and better quality of voice, bluetooth and water proof than other things of them. Thanks.

There is NO such thing as "range". They go as long as that electric wire goes. For stations to communicate, they must be on the same electric wire. See Product knowledge ..2nd picture in the picture gallery for detail

My guess is that they will not work even at 1/4 mile without line of site. With LOS you can go 6 or 7 miles. The only way to know for sure would be to try. If there is not of other 2.4 around and you get a good bounce then maybe but I still say not likely.

Line of sight as far as you can see. If you have a good antenna (to a certain extent, bigger is better) and a good location (up high above everything) you can easily get over 80 miles direct. I use a repeater (located on a mountain top) that is about 80 miles from me and it is no problem. My signal relayed through that repeater can go even farther, another 100 miles.

Overall a good product but certainly will not work the distance advertised. I didn't do any exact experiments but 500 ft would be my estimate for reliable performance

well i think the range is about 1 mile. without any buildings or interruptions. if he is a couple of feet away i am sure that you will have no problem. I have used them in the amusement parks with my son and had problems.

Don't know the range but I have them throughout my house and the furthest point I was saying there were at least 50 feet apart. Very good product!

Yes, they do within a certain range... I think is around 12 or 18 feet... Great sound and other built in functions...

As long as you are in the same canyon I think you can count on about 3 miles range. This could be reduced by heavy trees or boulders.

The range is not great - I'm guessing 3-4 miles? The walkies are perfect, otherwise.

I've not tried the range , but this is a very good product, well designed, I'm sure they have thought this thru. You would have seen negative comments by now if not.

The range isn't far, but the walkies should work fine for you and your neighbor. I bought these for a friend and the walkies stopped working for us when we got more then a street block away. So if you live in a urban or suburban area, the walkies should work just fine. But if you live in a rural area, might want to look for different ones. They're great when they work though, clear and crisp sound quality and easy to use.

We use these for camping with out kids at a huge 900 acre camping area. They work great for up to about 2 miles then they get weak. You have to know going into it that they will never transmit the true 35 mile range unless it is the exact perfect conditions and weather, barometric pressure, terrain etc.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

I have not tested the distance of these radios as of yet. The furthest apart has been about a mile so far.

I checked it at a distance of 15 feet and it worked. Since I sent this to my sister in another country I cannot test the range now. But in that country they may not be using it more than 25 feet. I know that they are very happy with this device.
